Her,l.in on Cattle.

teFnttH on C0ftte.
E. B. writes from Port London: Twill
you kindly tell me of some remedy to de-
strey lice on pigs, horses, and cattle, and
remedy for lice on live stock. A simple
way to use it on small scale is to mix ten
per cent. of strong acid with butter or lard,
and after thorough mixing, rub little OF
this upon the animal where the lice are
found, very nice carbelic soap may be
made for this purpose, and for coming
scratches in horses, foul in the foot in cat
tie, hoof rot in sheep, etc., by taking two
pounds of a pleasant hand washing bar
soap; cut this up fine, and mix with it one
fourth pound of CASTLE soap, which has
been cut fine; when these are mixed we'll
!, together, then mix into this soap one tenth
will not be more than one-twelfth part of
crystaeliZed acid. When this is we'll mixed,
exclude the air from it by putting it in a
self sealing fruit jar. The crude acid can
be used if any large amount is required.
When the cheap acid can be had, it is the
best deodorizer for the stable. One thou
sandth part of the acid will deoiorize a
manure vault. A small amount sprinkled
over hen-house and its roosts will keep
it sweet, destroy lice, and prevent many
diseases.-Canuda Farmer.
thrush.
Thrush is defined by veterinarians as "a
diseased condition of the secretions from
the frog characterized by the discharge of
foul and fetid material" frequent
cause of this complaint is standing in
stable refuse and wet straw. Many farm
ers have thick layer of manure mixed
with bedding in the stalls of young stock,
so as to prevent the feet from drying.
When this practice is followed for any
| length of time, thrush, indicated by lame
ness, is very apt to result. The victim
should first be given a dry, well-littered
stall, and the bedding should be changed
or dried in the sun daily. Remove the
shoes, pare the feet and clean the affected
parts thoroughly, but do not apply water.
Take one pint of pine tar, one ounce of
gum camphor, and one ounce Of blue Wit
riol (sulphate of copper. Place the gum
camphor in the tar. Powder the vitriol as
finely as possible. When the camphor has
been cut add the powdered vitriol, and stir
the ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
| Apply coating of this to the diseased
frog and bottom of the foot. Renew the
application occasionally until cure is eff
fected. After applying the mixture cut a
piece of cloth to fit the bottom of the foot,
lay it upon the tar, press it in closely and
let it remain.

HOUSEKEEPING.
h,.as ana Maftiun


The variety of rugs from which one may;
choose is wide even when excluding the
real" Persian and Turkish ones, which
are beyond the purses of most people,.
The Smyrna rugs manufactured in Phila-
delphia are too we'll and favorably known
to need much comment, but the large sizes
IN this make are not cheap, although their
durability makes them we'll worth the
purchase. An excellent substitute may be-
made by buying the plain ingram filling,
sewing it into square of the dimensions
desired, and surrounding it with border
to match.
When, for any reason, bare floor with
rugs is out Of the question, the next best
thing is mating. It is easily kept clean,
for the dirt lies On top and can be brushed
of instead of becoming ground into the
fabric. as is the case with carpets. Ae it
grows dingy it may be freshened by wip-
ing it with Il cloth 1ampened in salt and
water.
Mating may n be the best floor cover
ing for a hall where the constant tramping
back and forth is apt to break the straw
and wear it in spots. Nor can it be recon-
mended for use in the dining room unless
protected under the table by rug or
drugget. The pushing back of heavy
chairs soon leaves its mark even on the
stoutest carpet, and mating cannot stand
such rough usage. But in sitting
and especially in sleeping apartments, it is
chambers small rugs laid by tho bed,
bureau, and wash stand are all that is
really needed, even for delicate people
who dread to have their feet come in con-
tact with the cold surface. In the other
rooms larger rugs may be placed where it
seems best, by Fireplace, sofa, or sewing
chair.
Mating is in thorough harmony with the,
present style of cottage plenishings. 1t is
les, wicker and Fayal chairs, bamboo
easles and screens, and the many other
light articles that are superseding up
holstered furniture.

Defend your rights, defend your shore;
Let no rude foe, with impious hand.
Let no rude foe, with impious hand,
Invade the shrine where sacred lies,

Theory of the Three Shots.

In Mrs. Ellen Hcnry's statement she
says Henry fired three shots; Henry
says Terrell shot at him and that he
( Henry fired two shots only. The
revolver shown by Officer Gaines at
the Coroncr'S inquest yesterday show
ed only two empty chambers, and the
officer arrested Henry in few min
utes after the last shot was fired. The
statement of Mrs. Henry can be easily
accounted for. No doubt she believed
her husband fired all three of the shots
while she had her arms about his
neck, trying TO prevent him from
shooting, and a shot in the room at
that time could have been easily MS
taken. 1t was at this time that Fer
rell ran out of the house and has not
been heard from since.
